Father Zheng's eyes were round, his hands were clenched into fists, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were clearly visible even if they were a few meters away, obviously angered by Zhu Jinchuan's mocking words just now.

And Zheng's mother's reaction was a little strange, she seemed to listen to Zhu Jinchuan's words a little, and pulled the corners of Zheng's father's clothes with some hesitation, and pressed the voice: "Otherwise, we ......"

Her voice was extremely low, and Ling Li pricked up her ears to listen desperately, only to vaguely hear the first few words.

Qi Wan narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes were very defensive: "Lawyer Zhu, how do we handle the case, we don't need your reminder, besides, this case is to be resolved quickly, and we don't need to delay time like this." Tomorrow is going to court, everyone's time is precious, you can speak up if you have something to say, you don't have to hide it, and you don't have to try to provoke our client. ”

In this afternoon, until this moment, Qi Wan acted like a lawyer.

"Obviously, I am stating the facts and kindly making some suggestions, how can I be angering the defendant's family? Yu Wenzhong's methods, you know you and I know, there will definitely be many reporters present in court tomorrow, and when the time comes, I will be asked by reporters, Lawyer Qi, why are you a little mentally ill when you defend the bad guys, wouldn't it be better? ”

Hearing the word "reporter", Zheng's father's eyebrows moved, and the anger on his face gradually subsided.

Zhu Jinchuan turned his eyes, looked at Zheng's mother who was full of hesitation, and said with a smile: "Auntie, seeing that you are a reasonable person, you might as well consider my suggestion." After all, the mother and son, what clues can you provide to save the son, I am a little worse, everyone does not have to have a conscience, why not? ”

Seeing that Zheng's mother moved her lips to speak, Qi Wan shouted softly: "Lawyer Zhu, I saw that you had asked for reconciliation three or four times, and only today did you say that you would move your client to meet, but I didn't expect you to be sincere at all, and you tried to induce our client to make a wrong judgment and try to delay time." ”

Speaking of this, she rolled her eyes, and suddenly seemed to have figured out something, and a sneer on the corner of her mouth: "Is it difficult, lawyer Zhu, you are also afraid?" Afraid of dealing with reporters tomorrow, afraid of being asked, why do you want to be an accomplice in creating unjust, false and wrongful convictions? ”

Zhu Jinchuan raised his eyebrows and spread his hands: "Why don't you leave it to your uncle and aunt to choose?" After all, it is their son who will be sentenced to death, not you and me, let alone Professor Yu, who creates hot topics to feed reporters every day. ”

Ling Li looked at him with an expression of "I just don't recognize it horizontally and vertically", and almost laughed. Zhu Dazhuang is usually so serious, but I didn't expect to play a scoundrel, which is also quite charming.

Qi Wan frowned with an expression of eating flies, grabbed Zheng's father and Zheng's mother, who wanted to speak, and said, "Let's go, there will be no result, don't be deceived by him." ”

After that, when he turned around before going out, he looked in the direction he looked at, as if he was exchanging glances with Zhu Jinchuan.

Although one side of her eyes was covered up by the action of opening the door, she did not hide it at all, and Ling Li, who had been paying attention to her every move.

Ling Li stared at Zhu Jinchuan blankly, wanting to get an answer from him.

What kind of purpose does today's performance come to mind?

Zhu Jinchuan watched the three people go away, his expression gradually faded, and then he looked sideways and saw Ling Li staring at Ling Li in a daze, and couldn't help but sigh, and said the reason in a shallow voice: "Maybe in this way, these two people won't appear in court tomorrow, right?" We're also a little more convenient. ”

Ling Li didn't have time to figure out the logic here, he imitated Qi Wan's tone just now: "Let's go, there will be no result." ”

The acting is over, but it can't be relaxed.

After all, the work before the trial is tedious and meticulous, and if you don't go back to the office to sort out and confirm that there is no problem with the materials, whether it is Ling Li or Zhu Jinchuan, you will not be at ease.

However, talking too much in the afternoon, coupled with the smoky fire at noon, made Zhu Jinchuan a little irritable.

Not only did the smell of the clothes not go away all afternoon, but also the smell that made Zhu Daxiang, who has always paid special attention to appearance, unhappy, but also because of the not so refreshing throat after eating barbecue.

As night fell, Ling Li heard the occasional sound of him coughing in the office a few meters away, put down his work, and went to the supermarket.

And Zhu Jinchuan, after returning from a trip to the bathroom, found that there was a small box of mints on the table.

It's exactly the kind he usually eats. The old brand is not expensive and not difficult to buy, but the general small supermarket really does not have it.

As far as he knew, it was three kilometers away.

And he immediately knew who bought it.

Looking back at the delicate side face under a lamp like a bean from the crack in the door, my heart warmed slightly.

No wonder when he passed by her table just now, he seemed to hear that her breath was a little rough and her hair was messy, so he had come back from a hurry.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he couldn't help but snap his fingers. Even if there was a fierce battle soon, it would not prevent him from feeling better.

The little girl knows that she is filial, and she occasionally shows affection, but she is also very cute.

Moreover, she is becoming more and more like her.

Thinking of the beautiful shadow that had been sleeping in his heart for many years, the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly faded again.

And the mint candy in front of me is also a habit I developed when I was with her.

The first box, it seems, was also bought by her for him.

That summer, at the station under the scorching sun, I waited for her for a long time before I saw the haunting figure.

Long hair, blue dress, and hard plastic sandals ran on the concrete floor, making a crisp sound, from far and near.

The cheerful voice was still in his ears, and then she didn't care about the slight pain of crashing into his arms, and the enthusiasm with which he didn't want to let go.

Zhu Jinchuan hooked the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were indifferent. He almost couldn't recall that he had been such an emotional person.

It seems that with Ling Ling's departure, his heart is getting colder and harder, and in the end, it is difficult to care about anyone or anything other than work.

Yu Wenzhong was actually right, at the beginning, he did use Xue Yin as a stand-in. And in the short half-year marriage with Xue Yin, she seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly one day, she stubbornly wanted to replace the mints he was used to.

She bought all kinds of imported brands and all kinds of fancy packaging, but he never appreciated it, and he didn't touch it, and the two even quarreled about it.

The unique coolness of mint in his mouth gradually spread, and he looked out the window as if he wished Jinchuan to settle down.

This mint candy that has been eaten for more than ten years is not like this, little by little, the coolness gradually soaked into his bones, resulting in no passion for anything after that.

Therefore, in the matter of Xue Yin, he was cold-hearted and cold-hearted to the end.

Xue Yin has always been very sensitive, sensitive to the point of being a little neurotic, so that after she became depressed, everyone believed that she was crazy, self-harmed, ran away, and caused all kinds of inconvenience to the people around her.

But he deeply understands that Xue Yin's fragile and sensitive nerves are actually very tenacious, and they may not be able to live well.

It's not that he doesn't know where the problems between them are, but he hasn't been repairing them, almost in a state of cold observance, watching her follow Yu Wenzhong's trap step by step, step by step, step by step, there is no chance to turn back.

Guilty? Regret it?

There are some, but he is also very sober, and there are many things that cannot be turned back.

Right now, it seems that the time has come to reckoning. Such a timing, such a case, such an opponent.

Yu Wenzhong, Qi Wan, Ling Li, and himself, it seems that all the protagonists have already arrived.

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and behind Yu Wenzhong's success, there are also a lot of white bones.

He actually sent himself to the door, although it also added some trouble, but it did not hinder him, he would eventually fall into the abyss in this invincible vanity fair.

Zhu Jinchuan hooked the corners of his mouth.

What Yu Wenzhong took from Ling Li, what he took from him, will be returned in double amount.

————

June 27, Rudu Intermediate Court, First Trial Court.

Compared with the high court where Ling Li is so familiar that she doesn't know how many times she has been to, and compared with the grassroots courts in various districts and counties, here in the Intermediate People's Court, she is still the first time to represent a case.

The so-called "Intermediate Court" is really worthy of its name.

In terms of floor area, more than ten acres is exactly half of the Funan High Court. In terms of staff, there are more than 400, which is exactly half of the high court.

What an amazing coincidence.

In addition, when she participated in court trials as a lawyer, she always encountered good weather, which was once again revealed.

When she got up in the morning, there were still black clouds with a rainstorm, and she deliberately changed a big umbrella to carry in her bag, but less than half an hour after going out, it was a clear and clear sky.

Even if there were no windows in this courtroom, you could see the warm sunlight cast on the smooth floor tiles through the floor-to-ceiling glass of the hallway.

It's a good sign, maybe today's trial will go unexpectedly smoothly.

Ling Li thought about these inconsequential things, her hand involuntarily imitated Zhu Jinchuan's movements, and turned a gel pen in her hand left and right, but because she was not skilled, the pen fell on the table with a bang, and then rolled to the ground.

This abrupt sound attracted the clerks, assistants, and the staff of the mission office who were preparing the live broadcast equipment and adjusting the camera angle.

And the courtroom, which was still a bunch of people whispering just now, was silent for a while.

It's embarrassing......

Ling Li thoroughly understood what it meant to be "afraid that the air would suddenly be quiet", so she hurriedly lowered her head and bent her waist, left her seat like a thief, ran to the table and picked up the pen, and secretly retracted it and wiped her sweat.

Zhu Jinchuan was not affected at all, and smoothly turned the Montblanc pen in his hand, and gracefully circled the place where the tiger's mouth was slightly flat in his right hand.

His face was leisurely and complacent, with a slight side of his eyes, and his smiling eyes seemed to be mocking her Dong Shi Xiaofeng. ”

Obviously, others didn't say a word, but they didn't care about the exquisite craftsmanship of turning the pen, but Ling Li couldn't help but complain: "I see that you practiced a lot when you were a student, right?" Your teacher must have said that you are not allowed to turn your pen when you are listening to a class. ”

Zhu Jinchuan raised his eyebrows to respond to her provocation: "I can't practice after work?" ”

Ling Li pouted: "Now they all use computers to type, who has the leisure to practice calligraphy?" That is......"

Halfway through her speech, she already had a head on her head.

Zhu Jinchuan smiled: "You want to say that I'm full and have nothing to do, right?" Lawyer Ling, please save the momentum that everyone wants to save until after the court session for a while, and Yu Wenzhong is still waiting for you to clean up. ”
